Laim Patent No. 94,219, dazed Augusta, 1869.

IMPRovED APPARM'US AND PRocEss FOR OBTAINING LIGHT FROM GAS AND on..

The Schedule referred to :in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it knownA that I, JOSHUA KIDD, gas-engineer,

of 74 Maiden Lane, in the city and State of New York, -have invented a new and'improved ,Apparatus for Carburetting Gas; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the oonstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to the drawings hereunto annexed, and making part of this specification. 'lhis invention, for carbnretting gas at the burner, I partially patented in England, on the 17th day of February, 1866, and the same is'shown and described in- Figures 8, in my speciioation, numbered 513, iiled in the Great Seal Patent Oiice, England.

vMy improvements consist in drawing up the oil by capillary attraction to a gas-flame, and the joining the oil and gas-dames together. The rich carbon o f the oil, by this commingling of the two dames, is raised to a higher state of incaudescence in the burning gas, and a much cheaper light is produced than can he obtained by burning the gas and oil separately.

This arrangement may with advantage he used for carburetting air impregnated with the vapor of gasoline.

Figure 1 is a central vertical section of my invention.
